I am going blind and am terrified. A friend told me to check out your videos. Thank you.

I work in a phone shop and we don't get accessibility training. I have a couple of deaf customers and some blind customers now and I have to teach myself a lot of the stuff they need me to know. Videos like this are really helpful. Molly you're fantastic.

The way you understand that very rapid text to speech is superhuman.

MOLLY IS FROM THE FUTURE CONFIRMED

I'm not surprised that they already have this technology. I just don't know how it works so I'm happy you showed me :).

The amount of people saying “she doesn’t look blind” is hilarious. What exactly is a blind person supposed to look like?? There are sooo many different types of blindness and many of them don’t effect the physical appearance of the eyes.

Just because she doesn’t look or act the exact way you expected, doesn’t mean she’s lying! As with anyone who faces a challenge, she has adapted to living without her sight and many of the things you believe are impossible for her to do, are more than possible with a little ingenuity. Before leaving a comment do a little research or watch a few of her videos. She actually answers a lot of the commonly asked questions and explains how she does a lot of things.

How about letting this video inspire you and teach you something about he world rather than just spreading more negativity around!

Omg I cannot understand a single thing that voice is saying 😂 that is seriously impressive

So I never comment on videos, but I was messing around with voice over and it just dawned on me that this feature would be so helpful for not just blindness but dyslexia or any one who just struggles with reading! I never knew it existed till finding molly and now that I know about it I can help my sister who is dyslexic learn to use it. I wanna thank you molly for educating me on this amazing apple feature and I think It will greatly help improve my sisters life in the future!

When u said "Siri turn on voice over" in the video, My Siri activated and did it on my phone! At first I thought u edited the video to show the screen of Siri, but realized it was my phone that had switched. It was freaky!

The voice sounds like the disclaimer at the end of every commercial

Wow, I really dislike apple products in general, but this looks amazing for blind people I love it how apple have put time into this technology for you guys.

ive recently gone fully blind and accessibility has been a lifesaver.

[AnandFromDelhi]

Apple should hire you for their next advert

My grandma recently lost her eye sight and your videos have been helping me understand what she is going through

[cranomsha]

She doesn't even look at the keyboard and yet she STILL has better grammar than 90% of Youtube's comment sections

My cats managed to turn on Narrator (text to speech) on my windows computer years ago... in the middle of the night. Imagine suddenly hearing a mans voice in your house in the middle of the night when you thought you were alone. 😱.

Welcome to the YouTube channel of an awesome girl who is blind. Now, before you comment, read this. Apparently, sighted people unfamiliar with blindness are often so curious about what they see in her videos and so surprised by a normal girl being blind that they lose all kinds of manners and maturity. In almost all of her videos the comments are filled with newcomers saying they can't believe she's blind, is she really blind, is she lying, how blind is she, wait is she really blind because she does this or doesn't do this, why does she look at the camera, why are her eyes shaking? She has videos answering all of these questions - go to her channel! Watch them! Educate yourself. If you must post a comment on this video, please do so with some respect and manners.


I think all of Molly's videos need this disclaimer posted at the top. I don't know why people come to her videos and post such naive and rude comments.

Hi Molly. I am blind and I use voice-over. I also use jaws on my laptop. I use the perkins brailer sometimes, but mostly my laptop. I really like your channel and I think you are very inspirational!!!

[flowerstar]

If you close your eyes and focus you’ll understand the iPhone voice better. It’s amazing how technology helps people with disabilities to communicate and just be normal. Technology is amazing.

Why are so many of the comments here so rude? Imagine if you were blind and you had to deal with being blind, would you be laughing then?
